Privacy Policy

Introduction

Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information ExploreCalcTools (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, how we use it, and the choices you have when you visit ExploreCalcTools.com and related pages.

By using our website, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.

Information We Collect

We may collect:

  • Information you provide — for example, your name, email address, and message when you submit our contact form or report an issue.
  • Technical data — such as IP address, browser type, device type, approximate location (derived from IP), referring URL, and pages visited. This helps us secure the site, diagnose errors, and understand usage.
  • Session / security data — temporary data needed for login sessions, CSRF protection, math captcha, and similar security features.
  • Optional analytics data — if Google Analytics (or a similar tool) is enabled, aggregated or pseudonymous usage metrics may be collected.

We do not require an account to use most calculators and converters.

How We Use Information

  • To operate, maintain, and improve ExploreCalcTools
  • To respond to contact messages and support requests
  • To protect the site against spam, abuse, fraud, and security threats
  • To measure performance and understand which tools are useful
  • To display advertising (including Google AdSense) where enabled
  • To comply with applicable legal obligations

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use:

  • Essential / functional cookies — required for core features such as sessions, CSRF tokens, preference storage, and security checks. These are necessary for the site to work.
  • Analytics cookies — if enabled, tools like Google Analytics may set cookies to help us understand traffic and improve content.
  • Advertising cookies — when Google AdSense (or similar partners) is active, third-party cookies may be used to serve and measure ads, including personalized or non-personalized ads depending on your region, consent settings, and Google’s configuration.

You can control cookies through your browser settings (block, delete, or limit cookies). Blocking essential cookies may break some features (for example, forms or admin login).

Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

ExploreCalcTools may use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to:

  • Serve ads on this site
  • Measure ad performance and frequency
  • Personalize ads based on your interests and prior visits to this or other websites (where allowed)
  • Limit how often you see the same ad

These technologies are controlled by Google and/or other third-party ad partners under their own privacy policies. We do not sell your personal information as a standalone product.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to ExploreCalcTools and/or other sites on the Internet.

Personalized Ads and How to Opt Out

You can opt out of personalized advertising and manage ad preferences:

  • Google Ads Settings: visit https://adssettings.google.com/ to view and edit ad personalization for your Google Account.
  • Google’s ad cookie opt-out: visit https://www.google.com/settings/ads (or the Ads Settings page linked above) to opt out of personalized ads from Google.
  • AboutAds / NAI industry opt-out: visit https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ to opt out of interest-based advertising from many participating companies.
  • Your browser: use private browsing, clear cookies, or block third-party cookies. Note that opting out does not stop all ads; you may still see generic / non-personalized ads.

Users in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, and similar regions may also see a consent message (where required) before non-essential advertising or analytics cookies are used. You can change or withdraw consent where a consent tool is provided.

Third-Party Links and Services

Our pages may include links to third-party websites or embedded services (for example, fonts, CDNs, maps, analytics, or advertising). Those services have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices.

Relevant Google policies for advertising include:

Data Retention

We retain contact messages and technical logs only as long as needed for support, security, legal compliance, and site improvement. Analytics and advertising providers may retain data according to their own retention schedules.

Children’s Privacy

ExploreCalcTools is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures (such as HTTPS where configured, CSRF protection, and access controls for the admin area). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

International Visitors

If you access ExploreCalcTools from outside the country where our hosting is located, your information may be processed in other countries that may have different data-protection laws.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
